Answer / manjunath s h

use restart parameter, restart = procstep.stepname
procstep: the step of the jcl which is invoking the proc.
stepname: the step in proc where u want the execution to
start.

use null statement after the 25th step in the proc.
or
override the cond parameter of 26th step as cond=(0,LE).

Answer / indrani

We can copy the PROC into personal library and edit the
proc and put a null card post 25th step. Then make the JCL
use your personal library as the proc and only 25th step
will run and the rest of all steps will be bypassed.

I would recommend this to be the best answer.

Answer / varmak

@ Indrani

In case if we are anyways editing the proc, we can copy
only step25 into local jcl pds & execute... why copy
entire proc..?
